Metroland Lyrics

Artist: Mark Knopfler
Album: Metroland

Yearning we were yearningGreen light blinding on the railBurning we were burningAnd the line unwinding to the Holy GrailTo the future gleaming on a blue horizonAnd a golden girl on golden sandDreaming fantasizingIn another world from Metroland

I've danced in rain and I've been DjangoAnd I've got laidI've been a rolling stoneI've been VerlaineAnd I've been RimbaudNot afraid to walk aloneAnd now I take my midnight rambleDo I fold or play what's in my handWhat's at stake and what's the gambleDo I stay in Metroland

Dreams yesterday's laughterGhosts and lovers come back to playBut dreams have a morning afterAnd run for coverIn the light of dayI got something real worth holding on toI can belong to and understandI've made my dealI will go on toMake my peace with Metroland
